What does it mean to say that something has no side channel attacks? Do you mean no known side channel attacks? If so, doesn't any product with regular security updates meet this criteria? Or have you somehow ruled out the possibility of side channel attacks (which sounds impossible to me, but I am not an expert)

Sorry, I made a bad joke above.

I'm guessing there are almost certainly side-channel attacks (discovered or not) in most crypto libraries. How easily they're exploited is another topic.

We don't believe we need to build more cryptography engines. We just think we need to make the existing crypto libraries easier to use in conjunction with PKI, vulnerability monitoring, ease of patching, and especially in the context of documentation and testing in the eyes of the FDA.
